Mewto is Coming to Pokemon GO Via Invite-Only Raid Battle

It wasn’t too long ago that Pokemon GO introduced a new mechanic called Raid Battles. In Raid Battles, you’ll be teaming up with fellow trainers to take down powerful Pokémon that are only available for a limited time. It was in this raid mechanism that they gave us Legendary Pokémons such as Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Lugia. Legendary Raid Pokémon is very valuable as it has the highest CP of any Raid creature.

But of all the legendary Pokémon, Mewtwo is the most anticipated one of all. There is a lot of hype with Mewtwo coming not just because it is a strong legendary but also because Mewtwo is the star of the Pokémon GO reveals trailer. Now, players can catch the iconic bipedal humanoid monster.

Exclusive Raid Battle Invitation

Mewtwo was unlocked following its successful capture at a Pokemon GO Stadium event in Japan. It’s now coming to the game all over the world as part of an Exclusive Raid Battle. These raid battles will periodically appear at Gyms and play out like the raids that are already available, except you’ll now need an invitation in order to take part.

To receive an invitation to participate in an exclusive raid battle, trainers must have successfully completed a raid recently, by defeating the raid boss, at the gym where the exclusive raid battle will be taking place. The invitations will include an advance warning of when the exclusive raid will take place, giving them ample time to coordinate with other trainers before taking on the powerful raid boss.

If you have not caught any legendaries as of now or missed some that you were looking for, all four Legendaries released so far will be available again. They can be caught through Raid Battles starting today until August 31.

With Mewtwo’s release, there is now only one Pokémon from the first generation that we’ve yet to see in Pokémon GO. Let’s hope Mew makes its arrival real soon.
